Ascent engineering ltd

Established in 2007, Ascent Engineering initially began working as freelance engineering providers for major principle contractors within the UK. However, it was soon apparent that there was a niche gap within the industry for a bespoke civil engineering sub-contractor that would not only deliver a premium quality service, but who were also dedicated to going the extra mile for the customer.

Civil Engineering

Ascent believes that the pre-construction is the most important process. Projects that are planned and communicated properly ensure we execute our site services to our usual high standard whilst our estimating, planning and engineering staff are supported by in-house Health & Safety, Environment and Quality departments.

Programme and Project Management
As a civil engineering contractor using large quantities of materials, increased labour and utilising large plant items, it is paramount we programme not only the works, but the financial mechanics of each and every project. This sensible approach has been successful giving our clients confidence in selecting the right contractor.
